My conclusion is that those questions are not good enough to determine your virtues or lack of. They are very tricky... I'm thinking more of the list of virtues itself not on the survey... Maybe 24 tests would needed instead of one, but that would be slow...
What I mean is that people don't agree of what are virtues or not...
When I'm Persisting on something, some think it's Persistence and some Stubborness.
Every virtue could be changed around. I'm gonna try: maybe they are not the right words in English, but you'll get the idea...
And I guess that's because there are so many different people personalities. So.. is there really any virtue that doesn't have its "dark side"?
